The problem with letting him walk away on his own reconnaissance is that if he goes off of his meds again, there is no way of knowing if we can catch him before he does any more damage. "For the foreseeable future" really isn't enough. It should be for the rest of his life, and he should be lo-jacked.
I understand the problems and stigma surrounding mental illness, but this is an extreme case. The equivalent of him not taking his meds for a week, five years from now, is one of the most terrifying crimes in recent memory. He must be closely monitored, for life.
